Conference iosg::all-in-1_v30

    Louise,
    
    Not knowing what a DECStep is doesn't help me but I do know that our
    favourite office product isn't spelt correctly in the base note
    we prefer ALL-IN-1 so please try and humour us.
    
    And now a request for some more info:
    1) is anything integrated witH ALL-IN-1 e.g WordPerfect
    2) Does GOLD-W show any more info
    3) Does SET WATCH show which image it is accessing
    
    Regards,
    
    Andrew.D.Wicks
    

    And, are all the SYSGEN and AUTHORIZE parameters set up as suggested
    in the Installation Guide?
    
    Graham
    
    PS I'm beginning to wonder if something in the latest VMS versions has
    got bigger or something, and our published numbers aren't big enough
    anymore....

    	Are there any facility codes along with the messages? Like
    	%SYSTEM-F-   or something like that? Have you tried this from
    	the ALLIN1 manager's account? Or from SYSTEM? Have you tried
    	AUTOGEN FEEDBACK? Have you been "tuning" the system by writing
    	parameters with SYSGEN instead of the prescribed AUTOGEN?
    
    	At a wild guess it sounds like your P1 space is too small (although
    	I have to confess to not knowing what privelege vectors are).
    
    	As you seem to think that the fact that you have DECstep is
    	significant, perhaps you could explain to us folks in ivory
    	towers just what this product is?
    
    Regards,
    Paul

    Louise,
    
    	The 'privilege vector limit ...' message normally indicates that 
    	there are too many privileged code sections or message sections 
    	linked with the image (or called via LIB$FIND_IMAGE_SYMBOL). 
    
    	Do you have any other applications or images linked with ALL-IN-1?
    
    	Did you get any Linker errors during the installation?
    
    	What is the result of relinking ALL-IN-1 with deferred image 
    	activation turned off? Eg.
    
    		$ A1$DEFER = 0
    		$ @OA$BUILD_SHARE:A1LNKDRV ANSWERS ,,,,,,,,,
    
    	This will cause images activated by ALL-IN-1 at run time to be
    	included in the main image. It will be interesting to see the
    	results from the Linker.
    
    	The 'assign channel system service ...' error could be caused
    	by a number of problems. 
    
    	Was any additional RMS status returned? Use GOLD-W to see the 
    	message buffer.
    
    	Have you had any other major VMS and/or hardware problems recently?
    
    Sorry it's all questions and no answers but I've haven't seen this
    problem before.
    
    Cheers,
    
    Iain.

    
    DECstep ??? Seems to be an IS kind of upgrade thing.
    DECstep 2.0 contains VMS 5.4-2 as I understand it well.
    
    Normally STARS find everything about anything.
    
    For DECstep I had to open all notes database for success.
    
    Read this note from the Rally 2.2 note file.
    
                           -< EASE becomes DECstep >-


>>    What's EASE?
    
In a few words EASE is an environment that you instal when you upgrade 
the VMS version on your system. It specifies the list and version of 
all the layered products that work with a particular version of VMS.
It is almost mandatory here in Europe to use EASE to ensure that as much
as possible, systems are up-to-date.
For example,  EASE V5.3-2 goes with VMS V5.3-2 and list all the products 
and their versions, Rdb V3.1b, Rally V2.1-21A, etc.
In your kitinstal.com you just have to check for the EASE version and 
can be sure all the other products are ok.

Just for more info:



          
    Cover Letter : DECstep  July/August 1991 Migration

  Attention:

  The term EASE ( European Application Standard Environment ) will no
  longer be used by EOPG ( European Operations Platforms Group ).
  The EASE kit from July 1991 migration is an offering on the DECstep
  ( DEC Standard Environment Platform ) package.
  It is called the "Application Production Standard Environment" and is one of
  four standard platforms currently available via the DECstep package.

        Hello,
        
        Has the problem in .0 been identified ?
        One of our user got exactly the same error message as .0 . It 
        seems not to be reproducible.
        Our cluster is running VMS 5.4-3 and ALL-IN-1 v3.0 BL123A (SSB).
        
        Any info ?
        
        Thanks,
        
        Guy David.
        VBO ALL-IN-1 system manager

        Hello,
        
        We didn't linked something new with our ALL-IN-1. 
        At V3.0 installation time (last november), it has been linked 
        with DTR and WPS-PLUS and with a function AS$DFUN (for ASCOT #6).
        Last week, we installed SYSTIDY v2.0, but we didn't need to 
        relink the ALL-IN-1 image. 
        Does it help ?
        
        Thanks,
        Guy David.
        

    
    Does anyone know whether this particular problem was ever solved, as I
    have a customer seeing exactly the same problem after upgrading to v3.0
    at the weekend. Have got her to check everything that was suggested,
    but can not find any other reference to this particular error in either
    Stars or in this Notes conference.
    
    Thank you,
    
    Emma.

    ALL-IN-1 v 3.0  VMS v 5.5-2
    
    I have a customer who has recently upgraded to ALL-IN-1 v3.0 and since
    then his users have been seeing the following error when they log into
    ALL-IN-1 and go to either the EM or WP menu.
    
    %SYSTEM-W-VECFULL, privileged vector limit exceeded.
    
    This is an intermittent problem, he can not be sure of how many users
    exactly are seeing this, and it is not something that is happening all
    the time. When it does, the users are finding that logging out and back
    in again about 5 times tends to clear the error. 
    
    The following is an extract from the ALL-IN-1 trace..

    He has 3 nodes, 2 are run by one system disk and the other is run by
    another system disk. ALL-IN-1 was installed on the system disk that
    controls 2 nodes, and all the information was simply copied onto the
    other system disk. He has managed to narrow the problem down to
    persistenly happening to all users on the system disk that had all the
    information copied over. In other words, at present it is specific to
    one node only. He is currently doing more test to find out whether the
    problem is occurring at all on the other 2 nodes, or whether it is
    intermittent.
    
    He is also faxing a copy of his sitelink30.com file and I will post the
    contents in here when I receive it.
    
    He is also running several other layered products within ALL-IN-1,
    they are 2020, VIVID and ALL-IN-1 Desktop Server. I still don't have
    enough information about these products. I will post anything else I
    get when I receive it.
    
    Thank you.
    
    Emma.

    
    Customer has just confirmed that this problem is specific to the node
    with the system disk with the ALL-IN-1 files copied over. It does not
    appear to occur on the other 2 nodes. It is also not occurring for
    users on that node that have full privs.
    
    Anyway, the problem is occurring mainly due to the fact that he did
    copy over the system files, rather than doing the proper installation.
    Deleting the images and re-installing them will not work, he actually
    needs to install ALL-IN-1 properly.
    
    Just thought I would let everyone know what the problem was.
    
    Emma.

    Hello,
    
    We had this problem at a cusomtomer site. Also copied files
    over instead of installing ALL-IN-1.
    
    $set watch file and $set audi /ala/ena=file=fail both showed
    that one file in sys$library (I think it was DSL$SHR.EXE)
    was missing W=RE .
    
    Modifiying the protection solved the problem.
    
    Regards,
    
    Jan

    
    That was exactly the same file that my customer had messed up. The
    missing protection was obviously what was causing the error!
    
    All solved now though..
